Deubiquitinases: Novel Therapeutic Targets in Immune Surveillance? by Gloria Lopez-Castejon, Mariola J. Edelmann

“…This response is tightly regulated since any aberrant activation of immune responses would have severe pathological consequences such as sepsis or chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Accumulative evidence shows that the ubiquitin system, and in particular ubiquitin-specific isopeptidases also known as deubiquitinases (DUBs), plays crucial roles in the control of these immune pathways. …”
